Also, I originally voted for unique kills and after reading through the conversation I wish I had waited to vote because overall games sounds much better.

I vote to be able to change my vote......lmao......

Seriously, overall games is a much better idea.....However the threshold seems too high. How long does a map stay in Beta? (on average) ....not that it matters with regards to what is being discussed here

The theory that 2 could setup a buttload of games to split and get a medal can be acheived for alot of medals....not just this proposed medal....

Great idea hot

Maps stay in beta for around 6 months. But with lots of maps in beta all the time, even a thousand wins is easily doable over time, just like the unique wins which would probably take longer. Not everyone likes to play beta maps so those levels will have to be a lot lower.

Yep, that was my map and it was something that after a 50 page thread and countless hours of people looking at the map, it was not seen. But these things come around once in a blue moon. Nothing can be done about it and even maps that have been quenched have had problems.

I would not say it is an advantage. But with a lot more players wanting to play beta maps, it would make it easier to do this. But as this happens only very rarely, right now only 1 map has been closed to sort a problem like this out.

I don't think this is a good idea. Beta maps only stay Beta for a while. And what at if one point there are no beta maps to be played on? Then the medal becomes unachievable for that certain period of time.

When was the last time a map was not in beta? But on top of that, just because a map is not, your unique kills are kept. You do not need 400 on one map to get it, you need 400 on any map as long as it is in beta when you play it.

It's been stickied. Right now the [Submitted] section still only has Battle Royale medals and Monthly Challenge medals waiting to be implemented. Which means this is probably next, after those, if it gets approved. Which it probably will. But this won't be an instant process. If you are playing Beta games, feel free to spread the word about this suggestion. Extremely popular suggestions may be hurried along, but there are no promises.

This is indeed next in line to be Submitted (as far as I am concerned, it's a go from us), but as DY says, we're currently waiting on the programmers to get to a few other things that were ahead of it in Submitted, so we'll let it sit here for now and garner other feedback.

I'm going to submit this unless we have a significant number of objections from the community. I'll give people one week for commentary if you have a reason why this should not be submitted, or if you just want to express support again.

I have some level of concern in that this medal would seem to presume that there will be handful of maps in beta at all times for the remainder of the site's lifetime. I am not sure that this will (or should) always be the case. Is it okay for a medal to one day become temporarily or permanently unobtainable? Or is admin willing to commit to somehow making sure that there will always be beta maps?
